Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

Home Owners Associations

If in a HOA meeting it is decided and voted on that each lot owner is to pay a sum seperate from the regular dues to have the neighbor hood road paved and given 45 days to pay it, does each home owner HAVE to or are they legally bound to pay even if they were not at the meeting or signed any type of proxy for vote in their absense?
